MEILIN’S REBORN (Battle Of The Heart And Throne)

BOOKSTORE**

“Mummy please save me!!” Gianna kept on crying as the corps were dragging her.

She refused to move, she kept pulling herself backwards with all her might.

“Young girl just come with us, maybe later you can call your relatives but for now come with us” the officer sighed.

“I don’t want to go with you, I’ve never been to jail before” she cried.

“Okay fine, if you don’t wanna go to jail then pay 13, 000CN¥ for the book right now” the cashier replied.

Gianna kept on crying because she didn’t have any money.

“Don’t get fooled by her cute face, take her away” the cashier ordered and the officers resumed dragging Gianna.

“Stop!!”

That voice made everyone stop and slowly looked back.

It was Angie.

“What’s going on, why are you dragging my girlfriend that way?” He frowned.

“Girlfriend?” The cashier asked, even Gianna had a confused look on her face.

“Well this girl here is a thief, she was caught reading a book that she won’t even buy” the officer replied.

Angie stared at him and secretly made him slap himself twice.

The security man winced, he didn’t even know why he did that.

“My girlfriend is not a thief” he replied and looked at Gianna who immediately looked down.

“Baby I told you to be patient right, I was planning to give that to you as your birthday gift” he said, coming close to her.

He stopped at her front and took her both hands while she stared at him confusedly.

“Look at you” he smiled and tapped her nose.

“Your love for supernatural novels hasn’t died one bit” he added and looked at the cashier.

“Give her the book,” he said.

“Huh?” The cashier asked.

“I said give her the book, I’ll pay for her” he repeated.

Gianna kept staring at him from behind.

The cashier brought the book to him and stretched her hands out.

“The money,” she said.

Angie smiled and brought out his phone, he typed something and gave it to her.

“Do the transfer, it’s 26, 000CN¥, I’m paying double and I hope you will rest after this” he said and Gianna’s eyes widened.

The cashier cleared her throat and did the transfer then gave him back his phone.

“Thanks” Angie smiled then looked at Gianna.

“Let’s go” he whispered and took her hands then walked out of the store.

When they got out, Angie left Gianna’s hands alone and he stretched the book towards her with a smile.

She stared at his face, then the book before slowly collecting it.

“Thank you” she said slowly.

Angie just smiled and shook his head.

“It’s nothing, I’m sorry I came late” he muttered, feeling a bit disappointed.

“Why are you apologizing?” She asked and he smiled again.

He brought his hands to caress her cheeks then wiped the remaining tears on her face  away.

“You won’t understand but I’m sure you will later, just read and enjoy the book” he replied.

She smiled and nodded.

“Thank you for the book and I’m sorry for getting mad at you, you’re free to start answering all the questions correctly from now on” she said.

Angie chuckled and nodded then what followed next was silence, no one knew what to say again.

“I’ll walk you back to the school, it’s getting late already” he said and she nodded.

They both began walking back to school, no one talked, it was a peaceful and comfortable silence until Gianna suddenly thought of something and stopped.

Angie also stopped and stared at her with a confused look.

“How did you know I was there, were you following me?” She asked.

“You think I was following you?” He asked back.

“I just want to know” she replied and he sighed.

“I came there to buy some books too” he lied.

“Oh” she mouthed.

“Yeah” he smiled and tapped her pointed nose again.

“So you can rest assured, I’m not a stalker” he added.

“I’m sorry” she muttered and he smiled.

“It’s okay, let’s continue moving” he replied and they both continued to trek.

Finally they got back to the school and he walked her to her hostel room.

“Thank you for walking me back and also thanks for the books” she said thankfully.

“It’s nothing, what are friends for? ” he shrugged.

“Friends?” She asked confusedly and he nodded.

“Huh?, When did we… When did I…” She didn’t even know how to put it.

“Will you be my friend?” He asked.

“I… I don’t think I..

“What??, You don’t think??, Okay fine then give me back my book” he did as if he wanted to collect the book and she immediately raised her hands up.

“Don’t collect it, from now on you are my best best best friend” she shouted immediately.

“More than Nevaeh?” He asked but she gave him a pouting look.

He wanted to collect it again and she immediately hid it behind her back.

“Yes more than Nevaeh, Nevaeh is my second bestie and you’re my first bestie please don’t tell her that I said that” she said immediately.

“Good now say I love you Angie” he smirked.

“What??, That…

“You won’t say it, fine give me my book” he made to collect it again and she shifted back.

“Fine I love you Angie, I love you I love you, I love you more than Nevaeh” she said.

“That’s more like it” he smiled and retreated his hands.

“Thank you once again for the book and goodnight” she added seeing it was already evening even though it wasn’t dark yet.

“Hmm, goodnight best” he winked and turned around to leave but she stopped him.

“Wait!” she called out and he turned back to look at her.

“One minute” she smiled and rushed in then came back outside with a can of coke.

“This is the last can of coke in my room and I was supposed to drink it tonight but you can have it” she smiled, stretching it out for him to take.

Angie smiled and accepted it.Property of Nô)(velDr(a)ma.Org.

“Thanks,” he said.

“Hmm, goodnight bye bye” she waved at him.

“Night” he waved back and left.

Gianna signed and entered her room, she locked the door and rested her back on it then smiled.

“I have another bestie, just hope Nevaeh doesn’t kill me for this” she said to herself then giggled.

Speaking of Nevaeh, she suddenly remembered her.

Nevaeh wasn’t in the room so where was she??

ANGIE’S ROOM**

Nevaeh’s eyes suddenly flung open.

She found herself on a soft bed plus the ceiling looked different.

She immediately looked left and right and sat up immediately.

“Where am I?” She asked herself.

Elvis, who was still playing with Rick, turned to look at her.

“Rick, she’s awake” he said, still looking at her.

Rick also turned to look at her and he smiled.

Nevaeh’s eyes widened and she immediately checked herself.

She was not putting on her cloth, he was putting on another cloth, she was putting on a male’s shirt and stockings.

“Arghhhhhhhhh!!!” She screamed out.

Both Elvis and Rick exchanged confused glances at each other.

“Why is she shouting?” Elvis whispered.

“I don’t know” Rick replied in a whisper back.

Nevaeh jumped out of the bed and blocked herself immediately.

She saw her cloth somewhere on the floor, she slowly walked to it and picked it.

It was…. It was covered with blood.

“Argghhhhhhhh” she screamed again and Rick stood up along with Elvis.

“Why won’t she stop screaming?” Elvis asked in a whisper.

“I still don’t know,” Rick whispered too.

Nevaeh threw her dress on the floor and gave the both of them angry looks.

She wanted to move to them but the pains she was feeling all over her body made her fall back on the floor.

She touched herself, first she worked up in another room, she put on a boy’s shirt and stockings, her clothes were covered with blood, she’s feeling pains all over her body and they are two guys in the room.

Two f**king guys in the room!!

And this only means one thing… one thing!!

“Arghhhhhhhhh!!!!!” She screamed more louder making Rick and Elvis to hug themselves in fright.

“What is wrong with her, is she okay?” Elvis asked fearfully.

“No I think she has gone mad” Rick replied and she screamed out again.

They screamed too and hugged themselves even tighter.
